Thursday joint practice news and tweets

Welp that's why you don't start buying too much hype in early August. Hopefully the shock of getting lit up by the great Sam Ehlinger will light a fire under our young defense

Just finished reading Colts message boards.  My takeaways…our OLINE needs to get better, our DLINE is good, we made their QBs look like studs today!

I'd feel better if we had some semblance of a lineup in place. These guys need to have as much time as possible to gel. That we still seem to be in the midst of figuring out who's gonna be playing and where is concerning.

I mean, the shuffle tells the story and we knew it even if we didn't want to believe it. They are absolutely garbage.

But why should this surprise anyone? These are literally guys being who they have always been(queue the Dennis Green speech). 

IMO, that part of the team is basically shot and is going to be bad all year.  I am not going to get too perturbed over it. It was expected.

Look at our DL and WR's though. Those units are shining against good units on the other side of the ball. Thar is very encouraging. Hell, maybe we even get something half assed good out of Darnold.

As expected for the OL and DL. Disappointing for the secondary.

Operation Tampering Expectations Down Now, commenced.

Expectations should have been tempered anyway. Some of the absolutely idiotic things that have been thrown around here are completely ridiculous and actually rather unfair for what is a really fuging young team.

People need to calm down, expect ups and downs and just enjoy watching some of our young guys mature and get better.

You guys do know that we aren't going to  show much today and everything will be vanilla Sunday. To make much of today or this week is was premature.  The over reactions are ridiculous

*Maybe the colts coaches asked the panther coaches to BOOST their QBs confidence some.....

Pick your five best bad guys and let them start gelling.

Matt Rhule called C.J. Saunders a “football player” today. That’s a high compliment.

I don't think it was that disappointing. I could not understand the hype. We are expecting a rookie to turn into Jalen Ramsey. That's absurd. Outside of DJack, it is literally a bunch of relatively unknown quantities. 

It may take them a while to gel and figure it out. We don't need to be better than 2020 today. We need to be better than 2020 by the end of the season.

I don't think there is a best five. I think we have two decent to good guys and a bunch of JAGS or works in progress. Like I said before the season, we shored up the depth this offseason. As in, we have a roster full of decent backups.

I don't see a way this guy doesn't make the active roster. For all the Huddle UDFA/low round love, we all missed the boat on this kid.

Wonder how many teams that passed up on Marshall for another receiver in the draft are now wishing they could’ve had him. Teams are so stupid. 

If we wouldn’t have taken him he would be killing us twice a year as a Saint.

Yeah, I wasn't super high on that pick(OL fever) but this may end up being the pick of our 2021 draft.

 

I will also say that the guys that were hyping him as our new #2 WR...... might be on to something.
